The historical-critical gaze into the labyrinthine 'library' of Marxist knowledge may bring about a salutary disillusionment. The memory work of labouring through what has been handed down may help to loosen the blind compulsion to repeat." || More than 30 years ago, the first volume of the Dictionary was published. Today - more than ever - it remains urgently needed. Help us secure this project for the future.

Tune in to a new podcast episode featuring "Subsumption in Kant, Hegel and Marx: From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society" by Andres Saenz de Sicilia, published in our Historical Materialism book series.

📚About the book:
Capital is often depicted as an all-encompassing and abstract social force which seeks to "subsume" all of human life. But what in fact is involved in such "subsumption" and how might it be resisted? Tracing the discourse of subsumption through the work of Kant, Hegel, Marx and the critical Marxist tradition, this book offers a materialist framework for analysing capitalist power. Saenz de Sicilia argues that capitalist subsumption operates at three distinct yet interrelated levels: exchange, production, and reproduction, each characterised by distinct logics of domination and resistance. Conflicts over subsumption at each of these levels lie at the heart of capitalism’s struggle to determine the shapes of human social life.
A major intervention into debates surrounding the historical trajectories of capitalism, Subsumption in Kant, Hegel and Marx: From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society systematically refutes the influential thesis that we are now in a stage of "total" capitalist subsumption which leaves no space of refuge or resistance.

Check out "Social Constitution and Fetishistic Social Domination in Marx, Lukács, Adorno, and Lefebvre" by Chris O'Kane, now published in our Historical Materialism book series!

📚The Marxian theory of fe**shism is usually interpreted as a theory of false consciousness, alienation, or reification pertaining to commodities or culture. This book reconstructs how Marx, Lukács, Adorno, and Lefebvre interpret and use the theory of the fe**sh to explain how capitalist social relations create a supra-individual, autonomous, and inverted form of social domination. These relations transform individuals into bearers of domination, thereby perpetuating capitalist society. The resulting reinterpretations of their respective social theories, and of the theory of the fe**sh, are crucial for a critical theory of capitalism today.

Primera traducción al castellano del último texto que escribió Lukács, de naturaleza autobiográfica y dictado poco antes de su muerte en 1971. Mediante un bosquejo teórico y la transcripción de una larga entrevista, este pensamiento vivido nos acerca a la vida y obra del filósofo marxista húngaro y nos permite observar sus acontecimientos, sus particularidades y su imbricación con su pensamiento, desde los principios epistemológicos a los ontológicos, pasando por sus reflexiones estéticas, éticas y, sin duda, políticas.

Traducción, edición y notas de Venancio Andreu Baldó.
